St. André-Avellin (Old Aerodrome)

Cessation of private use and economic factors. As a small, privately-owned grass airstrip (also known as 'Perkins Field'), its closure was not due to a major event like an accident or military conversion. The most common reason for the closure of such fields is that the owner ceased operations due to high maintenance costs, retirement, a sale of the property, or a general lack of use. The land was subsequently reverted to its primary agricultural purpose.

The site is currently agricultural land. Satellite imagery of the coordinates clearly shows that the former airfield has been fully reclaimed for farming, likely for hay or other crops. A faint, discolored outline of the former east-west runway is still visible in the field, but it is not maintained and is unusable for aircraft. There are no hangars, windsock, or any other aviation-related infrastructure remaining on the property. The adjacent road is named 'Chemin Perkins', confirming the field's historical name.

St. André-Avellin was a small, private general aviation aerodrome that served the local flying community. It was not a commercial airport and had no scheduled flights. Its primary operations consisted of recreational flying for pilots of light aircraft and possibly ultralights. The aerodrome featured a single turf/grass runway, oriented roughly 10/28, with a length of approximately 2,500 feet. Its significance was limited to providing a convenient, local landing strip for private aviators in the Petite-Nation region of Quebec.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the aerodrome. The land has been fully integrated into agricultural use for over two decades, and all supporting infrastructure has been removed. Re-establishing an airfield at this location would require significant investment, land acquisition, and regulatory approval, making it highly improbable.
